  • Support goods inward inspection and verify incoming components
  • Identify, log, and escalate non-conformances in line with company procedures
  • Work closely with production and quality engineering to resolve issues and prevent recurrence
  • Contribute to root cause analysis and continuous improvement activity
  • Maintain strict adherence to Quality, HSE, and compliance standards
What You'll Bring

We're looking for someone who combines technical capability with a proactive, quality-first mindset.

  • Strong experience in precision inspection within a manufacturing environment
  • Confident using a range of inspection tools, gauges, and measuring equipment, including CMM
